I adore beef stew, but potatoes (a key ingredient) are high in carbs, and somewhat questionable in the paleo/primal world. The sunchokes were the perfect thickening and texture replacement, and added a fantastic depth of flavor.

2 pounds stew beef

1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes

3 cups beef brother

3 carrots (chopped)

1 onion (chopped)

2 sunchokes (chopped)

Tablespoon of tarragon

Shake of crushed red pepper

Pinch of oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Splash of vinegar

First, brown the beef in the pressure cooker. Once it’s browned, pour off the fat. Add the can of crushed tomatoes, broth. Pressure cook for about 10-15 minutes. Open, add carrots, onion, and sunchokes, and pressure cook for another 10-15 minutes. Open, add a splash of vinegar, and enjoy!
